Cliff Davies is so underrated!! During Ted's solo Davies smokes on the skins!

[@astolennova]

He is killing it throughout.

[@jsalljr]

Cliff Davies was so fucking bad ass!! Horribly underrated and supremely great!. So sad he's no longer with us..RIP Cliff Davies!!

[@gregsheppard3377]

[@govtom4]

Ted’s my first concert in 1979. His drummer rocks.

[@louissoliz2508]

Same here 1979 in Houston Texas at the University of Houston football stadium with a brand new band I never heard of called Foreigner I was in junior high and the first time I ever smelled marijuana

[@slidinjohn495]

Cliff Davies can't be underrated ! He delivered masterful craftsmanship, dedication and unforgetable Ludwig Drumsounds on ev'ry Ted Nugent Album from 1975 - 1980...... Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever - Free for all - Weekend Warriors - Double Live Gonzo - Scream Dream........ Saw them 79 - 80 in Dortmund Germany with Pat Travers Band ........ CANNOT BE UNDERRATED Wish y'all well out there......greets from Germany🤘

[@380johnny9]

I seen ted. He brings it. No bull hsit. Just loud rock n roll. Unbelievable loud rock and roll.

[@pumasgoya]

You have seen Ted. You need to use have to make the past participle in English.

[@Ontharock]

THE BEST rocker of ALL time period Kids don’t even know what an air guitar is these days. I never learned a real guitar but I think I can hang with anybody on the air guitar. So much fun. Thanks Ted.

[@deanpesaturo6401]

Once again 👌 Thank You for sharing your copy of this phenomenal performance!! LD produced the show before hitting it bigger with his and Jerry’s television series they’ve created of course I mean Seinfeld in the Spring Of’1989. I really appreciate your sharing these rarities of Ted Nugent’s performance! Great stuff from the Nuge!

[@biggstile]

Great all around, and the drummer really rocks tight.

[@TheOlesarge]

Charlie Huhn!!! Laying down the vocals and guitar for Foghat now!!!

No channel today would have the balls to air a live Ted Nugent performance.

Knew Both Charlie And Dave When I Was A Guitarist In Detroit In The 80`s!! Killer Players!

[@cigarmerchant2238]

Ted was my third concert after Alice Cooper and Chicago TA. It was at the Atlanta Municipal Auditorium on June 5, 1974 and was also with Mike Panera and Cactus and was billed as the guitar battle of the century...and it was.

His best album, in my opinion.

[@Cuntstantine]

Yes. Including that masterpiece of his, Alone, no less

[@davidday8417]

State of Shock great album !!

[@blite13]

not even close.....after Cat Scratch Fever, the quality went down. He got close with Scream Dream, other than that, never the same. Call of the Wild was good.

[@89Fredbear]

Awesome footage!! and Live!!

[@vincentduarte8453]

I love the band Uncle Ted had at the time great

[@blite13]

Ted Nugent is the master of the Gibson guitar.

Charlie done some great vocals for Ted, when Ted got Pissy at times with St. Holmes.

[@scottbunn2237]

Love, Uncle Ted, Motor City Madman, Sweaty Teddy,Whackmaster!

It's Charlie Huhn, not Derek ST Holmes.

[@Cuntstantine]

Charlie and Meat were both better than Derek imo

Wonderful performance by the band. And I gotta say, at first I didn't think that was Cliff Davies on the drums. He looked a little different.

[@harleyrider11488]

[@JoeyP322]

I believe this was from "Fridays"which was a show that was to compete with Saturday Night Live. Michael Richards (Kramer) was in it and the show was actually pretty funny. Had some great musical guests. I believe it ran for two seasons... I believe that Nugent 'jumped the shark' after he fired lead singer Derek St. Holmes. "Weekend Warriors" was his last album with the Nug. Also remember when Meat Loaf sang on some songs on "Free For All" - ahhhh the good ole days

[@mickcarroll1274]

It was Charlie Huhn, as seen in here in this video, not Derek St. Holmes on Weekend Warriors.

[@mickcarroll1274]

Charlie Huhn played with Ted from 1978-1982, doing 5 albums.. Weekend Warriors, State of Shock, Scream Dream, Intensity in 10 Cities, and Live at the Hammersmith "79. Huhn's been with Foghat for the past 20 years, doing thousands of shows and several recordings with them.

[@jsdspif3]

my friends and I watched this when it was originally broadcast . Wasn't the name of the show Fridays ?? We all partied pretty hard most of the day just to get prepared for the show . My mom sent me to a psychologist at the time because " all he ever thinks about is Ted Nugent " . I thought of other stuff but didn't share the info with her . I swear I'm still seeing things from his scream dream tour , which was somewhere around this same time . I think this broadcast was trying to compete with midnight special , but I don't recall the show being on very long ??/ Who knows , it was the 80's starting to happen . Wild times .

[@455Transam]

I think FRIDAYS only ran 1 year....maybe 2 at the most. I used to think Melanie Chartoff was HOT!! LOL

[@screwedagain1]

jsdspif3 Hell yea.. Scream Dream tour with Blackfoot! That was 1980 I believe. My ears rang for two days after that show. I drank two quarts of warm Tango ( remember Tango?} before the show. Puked all over the sidewalk just before we went into the Boston Garden. Great memories.

[@mikecolacchio7602]

One could argue that Fridays was actually better than SNL at the time. Larry David was also part of the cast

Ted has always had great partners in crime. Ted is still the same today. Check him out on KZbin. Spirtwild baby.

[@sa-uz8xv]

Teds Riffs note for note were generally unremarkable. Where Ted shined was with his tone and ability to eek out blazing feedback at the drop of a hat and get damn creative with it. Great Guitar Player, full stop~

[@JCHaywire]

Anybody who knows music will say the same. I wish I could play like Nugent, but I also recognize his lack of originality. His success has been in his unflagging charisma. Even when the rest of the civilized world tells him, "Buddy. You're a douchebag. Shut up." He keeps on. You kind of wonder why.

[@blite13]

ted lost his band and his ego went out of control. this was his downfall. he lost Derek and rob and it was never as good. ted was chasing the money after DLG.......the songs on cat scratch compared to the albums after, were not even close. Ted gave audiences what they wanted = a high energy show, with songs that were what the audience wanted. His athletic style on stage was unmatched and the grooves with the energy given from them.....ted was the highest grossing act on tour for at least those 3 years......and there is a reason why. KISS was a comic book band.....ted was a kickass high energy band. Before weekend warriors, ted was on top......but that is when he lost his band and it became all about ted....that was his downfall. weekend warriors was a joke, state of shock was horrible.....ted made a close to his older days album with wango tango....intencities in 10 cities was very avg. and then nothing.......but crap. Ted was done, never recapturing what he had with Derek and rob.....ted blew it. But at that time, ted was blowin everyone away with his shows, everyone wanted to see ted live.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

@@MickDunne100 What I meant was most hard rock or heavy metal drummers had long hair and/or double bass drums. You do realize this is 1980? Nobody had tattoos or piercings back then. Bon Scott of AC/DC was pretty much the only exception with two tattoos although he croaked earlier that year.
